This yacht was expertly built in the UK by a team that included artisans who had been responsible for the construction of Volvo 70s and Americas Cup Catamarans. This third generation Owen Clarke Design began from a clean sheet of paper and incorporated modifications made to the Class 40 rules in 2008. It is without doubt the most technically advanced Class 40 yacht created at that time. She is the result of a collaboration by Owen Clarke Design and Americas Cup/Team New Zealand designer Clay Oliver. In addition, OCD utilised the talents of French hydrodynamicist and BMW/Oracle design team member, Michel Kermarec for the evolution of the appendages design. Having had little use by her commissioning owner and chartered to Jörg Reichers for two years she was sold on to her current custodian who carried out a comprehensive refit programme that saw the boat sport a new Axxon carbon rig and rigging, new sails and a general lightening of the yacht that culminated in meeting the minimum class rules for overall weight and mast righting limiter weight. The water ballast system has been modified for better power reaching capabilities prior to the 2014 Route Du Rhum.
